#Senswatch Part III: A Night at the Opera

[5280]

Wait...what?

Im at a bar on my phone so I can’t link it, but put in Matt Duchene vodka into a YouTube search and it’s the first thing to pop up.

 

[Pokecheque]

I thought that was Tierney right behind the driver.

 

[Pokecheque]

I can't really make out much about what they say about Borowiecki but it doesn't sound like smack talk. Apparently something happened that prompted Duchene to throw his "twiggy" but he follows up with "And I wasn't even mad at Boro," so it doesn't sound like they're smack talking him necessarily.

They were mocking his voice and the way he talks.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Ignoring the driver and him leaking it, the biggest takeaway is leaders ripping the coaching staff in front of young guys. That is literally how a team gets ruined from the top down. A bunch of vets doing it together, whatever. But tainting the organization in front of a bunch of young guys working hard to stay in the league is the opposite of leadership.

I thought they went back to mocking Raymond

 

[Foppberg]

I thought they went back to mocking Raymond

Afterwards yeah, " I wasn't even mad at Boro" comment by Duchene the other guys trashed him for a bit before going back to Raymond.

 

[Makar to MacK]

We simply don't know how they treated the driver either... maybe the stiffed him on a tip?

No tips with Uber. It is kinda there thing, just sayin

You can tip Uber. It's after the ride is done as far as I know.

Maybe during too but I don't usually play around with the app during rides.

 

[henchman21]

I've tipped on every Uber I've ever been on... you don't have to, but you can. In the new thread it seems that played a part.

Actually that was their old system and have since changed it. It used to be that there was no tipping and that was kinda a part of there business model. Meaning paying for a cab and having to tip too. When they 1st started

 

[Makar to MacK]

After thinking about it the last time I used Uber I did tip so as I said I was wrong.

I had a 5 star rating for the past 2 years until one day I shut the door too hard and the guy lost his shit and now I'm working my way up from a 4.7

True story.

Woof.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Ok, sorry, I ask for excuse but for me there are differences between men and women, both physically and mentally and these players didn't behave like men.

You don't know many guys do you?

If that's the worst thing I have to deal with in a night, I'm having a really great night.

And people ignoring me and talking like I'm not there is just part of being a driver. You wouldn't believe the shit I hear (never had drunk pro athletes, but still). Like I said, pretty much nothing they did to the driver was worthy of getting their dirty laundry spread all over the internet. Shit like that happens every single night over and over again and I don't sell people out. It's why I have a 4.95 rating I guess.

If I was an Uber driver I’d much rather have my riders basically ignore me and talk amongst themselves than some of the horror stories I’ve heard.

He was the only a**hole driver that I've had out of all the rides I've taken, just lost it and when I tried to turn it around a bit and start a conversation he went back to complaining about the door. It's a door dude, it opens and closes. I've only ever had 1 woman driver too, which isn't really surprising.

Uber seems like it'd be a cool side gig to be honest. Entertaining. Check out the YT channel Ryan is Driving, it's just this driver and all the crazy conversations he's had.

I've heard of that guy, don't really approve of what he does posting that stuff on the internet. If I wanted to, I could tell the whole campus which frat boy has a tiny dick based on the convos in my back seat, but that's just mean and uncalled for.

Not that I record in my car. I probably should, but I can't afford a dash cam. It would be a wise investment to protect myself from lunatics though.

I don’t think that’d be an issue assuming he has consent from his passengers.

As far as I know he asks them if they're okay with him using the footage. And bleeps out anything they don't want to be posted online. I've only watched a few videos but it's entertaining.

 

[Avsavsavsavsavs]

Wasn't around yesterday to see this, but good lord Christmas done come early for Avs fans.

On a serious note, I expect better from Duchene but it's probably not as bad in the locker room as this whole clip makes it seem.

 

[Tweaky]

Not a good look for the team or players. But Duchene and the others are mocking the coaches voice after the bit about Boro lacing Duchene, not Boro himself. It may seem like it could be either, but what they are saying in the mocking voice are a coaches lines, not a players. As for mocking coaches in front of rookies, I do not see it as a purely bad thing given that the coaches are truly that bad. Part of what those kids need to learn is how to identify good coaches at this level, and crap like this is part of what teaches them...may not be ideal, but it happens. And we all know players tune coaches out after a while, and poor coaches lose the room fast....NHL players know a bad coach when they practice with one.

That said, they need to be more careful of what they say in public...and a cab/Uber is public. There is no expectation of privacy in a public use vehicle. They need to take resposibility for that part at the bare minimum. They should probably also do a lot of apologizing/face-saving/kissing ass with the rest of the team and staff.

The coach needs to take what was said to heart and adjust his style. If players are nto paying attention, then he needs to actually coach, not just call play-by-play on the video. Make adjustments to the systems that are clearly not working. And so on. Use this as a early season performance review, and get better from it. And also understand that crap gets said any time a team is doing poorly, and that maybe it seems worse than it really is (players opinions of him...the BSing spiral can easily get past true feelings).
